Hello everyone, my name is Merle Anthony Rowland. I am from this no where land called Utah. I am here because I just found out about the site, I'll be honest, and would've joined and/or came here for things that I've been up to.

I recently got a Playstation 4.80 and wanted to jail break it so I went to the very place where everyone searches for the answer their looking for, Google. I wasn't too sure about the whole process so i asked questions first before doing anything so I don't end up blocking my PS3.

I met some A$$ H*LE who made sense of everything. I'm a student at the college so I'm not stupid at any of this so I thought I had it down. ALL PS3 UPDATE FILE ARE THE SAME "PS3UPDAT.PUP" so I know about all the down grading and all that but this butt hole sent me a "PS3UPDAT.PUP" that put my ps3 in demo mode.

I guess I'm not that smart in some areas. Needing help fixing this situation asap. I love gaming, I'm not into modding I just wanted to jailbreak so that I can back up my games to the ps3.

Interesting... ok so to recap, your PS3 was on 4.80 and you wanted to downgrade it but some a-hole sent you a 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' that you installed successfully thinking it was a downgrader but it really brought your PS3 into 4.80 'demo' mode correct?

Do you have a link to the file you used to get your PS3 into the state it's in now? I'd like to examine it and compare it to 'known good' OFW/Demo PUP files before trying to 'Internet diagnose' the PS3 further.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. I don't have the link, I have so many 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' I can't tell you which one came from where. I've tried so many times with so many different files but all were corrupted, even some Trojan Horses.

Gotcha... have you tried running MinVerChk on the PS3 to see what that reports it as, beyond taking what it says at face value on the normal PS3 version screen?

That link has sent me to a site that just asked for my card number and I'm tired of it. I don't mind spending money on what I want done but it's when I get absolutely nothing is when it pisses me off. Gaming is what keeps me and my daughter together and this site has lost my trust, I'm done here.
